A few of you may remember my S13 from Racewars last summer, well that was sold to fund food etc while I finished college. This is my more permanent S13 replacement.

Mods it came with

Apexi induction kit
Front strut brace
Greddy Profec B spec 2 electronic boost controller @ 0.85bar
De-cat pipe
Trust downpipe
Kakimoto exhaust system
EBC red stuff front pads
EBC rear pads
braided brake hoses
kyb adjustable dampers and lowered springs
18in Rota GTR 8.5" silver with polished lip, ET30/ET35
Cat 1 alarm/immobiliser
These are from the for sale advert.

I was fairly happy with it, but wanted to put my own mark on it, so got a few parts from a seller on DW :)

Hicas lock bar
Autobahn 88 FMIC with hard pipes
Autobahn 88 Tubelar manifold
Autobahn 88 Turbo elbow
Bride sidemount seat subframe
Corbeau Sprint FIA approved seat

I also took the Rota GTR's off, as I personally feel 18's are too big for an R32, so I'm eventually gonna replace them with some wide 17's :cool: In the meantime the 16in 8J ET38 Enkie's off my old RX7 will do. I actually think it looks kinda cool as it is, maybe get them spacered out a touch until I find some 17's I like/have the money for them.

As you can see, the Enkies are sitting a bit weak atm :(

I'll picked up some Tein coilovers last week, so its just a case of fitting the Hicas lock bar, manifold, elbow & FMIC, change the coilpacks to Driftworks Wasted spark Remote coilpack kit, then get it mapped. Then it should be good enough for some sideways action :D So pics and videos to follow

I thought I'd keep you guys posted on progress incase you wanted anymore drifters for anymore shows you might be putting on this year.

Cheers all,

Didn't reaslise there were some DW regulars on here :)

The only S13 bits I have are boring stuff like PAS pump, mudflaps and passenger side mirrors etc.

The enkies are only temporary until I find some wide 17's to replace them. Which cant happen til I sell my 18" Rota's GTR's.

Already got plans for a drift team this year chap, so watch this space ;) Maybe even making a few DWYB appearances, although working in Southampton during the week makes weekday drift day trips to the pod a real killer :(
Got my first TDSW on saturday though, so should get some action shots of the R32 at last :)

There's no turning back either. RWD for life :nod:
